View 2 Replies View RelatedI loaded a distro (which does not seem relevant) onto my laptop and used it for a while. Applications did whatever they do creating and saving files. I know that I have images and documents and videos and music and such on the laptop among other non-distro data files. Is there a simple (straightforward) way to identify which files on disk are NOT part of the installed distro? I know how to use find. I know that find lets me locate files based on some date-time-stamp. I know, too, that I can use any selected file as a benchmark date-time instead of some specific command line string.
For example:
Code:
Find files whose modification date is before (or after) the date(s) associated with the file /path/foo.bar.
Is there any one file that I could use to peg the distro install date? Can I get that date from somewhere else like a file system details?

View 3 Replies View RelatedHere's my situation :
I had a samsung 1TB HDD that I used for storing data, on an xp machine, so it was formated as NTFS.I moved this HDD to another machine and installed Freenas on it, and the installation worked fine (fyi, I used the tutorial posted here :[URL]..During the installtion, Freenas installed it's system files to a new small UFS partion. After finishing the setup, I realised that I had changed the file system of the other partion (980gb, previously NFTS) to UFS and now I don'T know how to go back. I had about 400gb of data on it and I'm pretty sure it's still there, but don't know how to get it back.
I tried messing around with recovery software such as R-Studio, and I was able to see some of my files so I know they're still there. After quite a bit of googling around, the only solution I seem to find is using gparted which is a tool to modify partions file system without loosing data, but I'm afraid to use it.
So is there a way to browse NTFS data on a UFS partition and convert it so FreeNas can see my files ? Or is there a way to put the partition back to NTFS so I can back up my data to another drive before I lose something valuable ?

With transfering files and folders across from windows xp to lovely ubuntu 10.10 without the need for any usb sticks or anything. I installed Linux via the installer which is found in the ISO image whilst still in windows.
I used Winzip to open the ISO image and found the installer for installing whilst in windows xp so it installed it on the same partition as xp.

View 10 Replies View RelatedToday I was trying to clean up my system and am a little bit stumped on something.
I used synaptic to clean up installed kernels, except for the one that was currently running. Once done I went ahead and restarted my computer.
Grub lists only one kernel available. However when I go to a prompt and
issue dpkg --list|grep linux-image I get several items listed code...
2.6.32-22-generic is the kernel I am running so I assume the "ii" files have something to do with the kernel in memory.
However, what are the "rc" files that are listed? Resource files? All three kernels referenced have been removed a LONG time ago and when I look for installed headers, or anything else, there is nothing installed for *-12, *-12 or *-14.
And when I check Synaptic for just the kernel number I get a list of packages with no version install, no latest version notation and no description (attached screenshot).
Just what are those references and how does one remove them?
I want to switch from ubuntu to kubuntu without losing any of my files or installed packages.is there any way to do that smoothly?

Code:

I can tell you flat out that foobar with the secret rabbit plugin, even without any internal or external equalizer completely tears up linux sound.
No, it doesn't.
In Linux you can easily choose Secret Rabbit in SRC_SINC_BEST_QUALITY mode as your system-wide sample rate converter by adding a single line to either /etc/asound.conf or ~/.asoundrc (requires libasound2-plugins and libsamplerate0 to be installed):
Code:
Now show me how to do that in Windows.
I have both of those packages installed, but for some reason the file asound.conf and .asoundrc are not there so I cannot add the line.
I have a program which I would like to package into a deb file for personal use. The program uses a custom install script, and to package the program I need to know which files are installed where. Besides inspecting the installer, which may not be possible if the installer is a precompiled binary, what are some best practices for discovering the filesystem changes enacted by a program installer? Should I test the installer in a chroot environment? Can I sandbox the installer in some other way?
